UNKNOWN HOSTS: New South Wales, Katoomba (herb. Kew); National Park.

Hymenophore annual, ceraceous, adherent, effused forming irregularly linear areas to 10 x 3 cm; hymenial surface white, ivory, or pallid cream, at length scantily deeply creviced; margin thinning out, farinose, white, adherent. Context white, 50-150 µm thick, basal layer of a few repent hyphae, intermediate layer of scanty hyphae branched at a wide angle; generative hyphae 3.5-4 µm thick, hyaline, naked, with clamp connections at some septa. Gloeocystidia scanty, flexuous-cylindrical, often distorted, arising in the context, some projecting slightly, 30-70 x 6-9 µm. Metuloids arising in the context and subhymenium, a few projecting to 45 µm, scattered or crowded, narrowly conical or subfusiform, 40-96 x 8-16 µm, walls finely encrusted, crystals deciduous. Hymenial layer to 40 µm deep, a close palisade of basidia, paraphyses, gloeocystidia, and metuloids. Basidia subclavate, 16-25 x 6-7 µm, bearing 2-4 spores; sterigmata arcuate, slender, to 6 µm long. Paraphyses clavate, 12-16 x 4-5 µm. Spores elliptical, obovate, or pip-shaped, a few sub-allantoid, apiculate, sometimes laterally, 6-9 x 3.5-4 µm, walls smooth, hyaline, 0.2 µm thick.

DISTRIBUTION: Great Britain, North America, Australia.

HABITAT: Effused on bark of dead branches.

Collections agree with European specimens examined, save that the context is less well developed. Gloeocystidia are scanty and difficult to find unless thin sections are prepared, but present in all sections examined.

TYPE LOCALITY: Europe.
